I'd venture to make the prediction that he'll end up more of a rival for Gill than an impersonator.

I'd even say that the main characters seem to be filling roles vacated by the previous generation. Agatha = the Heterodyne boys, Gill = Lucrezia (minus the evil), Travek = Claus, and Zeetha and Krosp = Punch and Judy.

Should the Jagers become playable in some game, I could see them being the main tank charachters. Or at the very least, the fast-moving powerhouses. Perhaps the steampunk version of the Dungeons and Dragons 3.8 Frenzied berzerker class."VE HUNT!"I'm a huge Jager fan, and the three jagerkin indebted to agatha are the best!

Would be awesome to see then in an rpg, but it might be difficult to make them player characters because of just how amazing they are. Seriously, they're unstoppable, look at the punishment they can take and like it too!

I intend to try to work them out for a monster game, just because it would be too much fun to talk like a Jäger for an evening or several.

Okay, so it appears to me that Gil is more likely to be that lost (not dead, as we are led to believe) Heterodyne son...probably located by Klaus in the wreckage of the castle and raised as his own (he doesn't know this yet, but the mysterious voice behind the door tells me that he will soon). This, of course, would make Gil Agatha's brother and remove Tarvek's competition as a love interest (hey, I don't like 'em either, but...)

Of course, I'm half expecting for Lars to make a resurrection comeback and make things very confusing for Agatha.

As far as Gil's plan? Just my opinion, but let's look at the social strata:

He's trained by his father to manipulate social constructions as well as mechanical ones. He made darn sure that he drew a huge audience (even if by allowing them to believe he was playing at first), then took on the role as Storm King by summoning lightning to forcefully gain entry to the castle.

There's a general rule that states that if you want to manipulate the masses, tap into their myths. By linking himself to the Storm King, Gil has created a situation in which a town full of minions like Mechanicsburg will do just about anything for him.

Note that he said that he came to aid the <i>true</i> Heterodyne heir. All he has to do now--as Storm King--is dramatically identify Agatha as that true heir and denounce...er...aughmn...that Pink Girl, whose name I forget (the one who I presume had actually worked her way out of the castle by collecting points) and the good guys win.

Well, sort of...for now.

The problem with Gil and Agatha pulling a Skywalker is that the Baron is aware of Gil's attraction to Agatha. When he mentioned this he gave no indication for such a relationship to be incestuous (though we are talking about European aristocracy here).

But I can see no reason why your predictions about Gil's plan would be wrong. We can only wait and see.

Perhaps so, but Klaus is first and foremost a pragmatist, and with things the way they are, it's unlikely that they'll consummate any time soon. There's plenty of time to break the boy's heart, but if we reveal his true identity too early, the result may be problematic.
